Disdain for the modern theater system

The cast of Red Letter Media are outspoken in their disdain for the modern theater system. The complaints usually center around other moviegoers making it difficult to focus on the film or on the massive corporate action films and sequels/franchises being promoted over more creator-driven films. This is an extension of the general cynicism towards other people evident in much of the Red Letter Media body of work.

Half in the Bag includes this generally as a theme of the work as a whole. Only include examples from Half in the Bag if it is particularly noteworthy or outspoken.

Examples

• Half in the Bag: Oppenheimer and The Hollywood Implosion: A major theme of the episode is the decline in theaters over streaming.
• Half in the Bag: Fool's Paradise and The Corporate Product Biopic Trend: A significant portion of the episode deals with cynical corporate biopics.
• Showgirls - re:View: Rich Evans describes how his viewing of Oppenheimer was interrupted by a woman and a young girl after a showing of Barbie.
• Andor - re:View: Discussion of Disney's handling of the Star Wars brand occurs throughout the episode. By the end, Rich is convinced that the lead will be revealed to be a Jedi for fan service.
• What Are Next?! is, in its entirety, a pastiche on modern franchise rebooting and sequelizing.
